emission light selector mirror slide to select whether the detector
handles emission light excited from above the
sample or the bottom measurement emission
light from the emission cable
enhanced plate height
sensor
a sensor that enables the Ultra Sensitive
luminescence aperture to be positioned very
close to the plate
excitation light director
assembly
in photometry or bottom measuring ;
assembly to guide the emission light from the
light source through deflection mirrors to the
light guides
flash counter software which counts the number of times
the light source has flashed
filter (optical) component letting only a certain bandwidth
range of light pass through
filter frame support onto which the filter block is mounted
filter module assembly consisting of the filter frame, the
filter, a barcode, a polarizer, and a possible
aperture plate
filter slide assembly consisting of the filter holder and
the filter blocks, enabling automatic filter
switching
Note! The maximum number of filter blocks
on the filter slide is 8. The instrument has two
kinds of filter slides: an excitation filter slide
for excitation light and an emission filter slide
for emission light.
glow luminescence luminescence that persists for at least some
seconds
height sensor probe right behind (inside) the loading door to
check the plate level and ensure that the plate
is properly placed on the plate carrier
